My code does not pull the proper link for the item. Instead it's getting the previous item's link.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
<?php
// Load the XML data from the specified file name.
// The second argument (NULL) allows us to specify additional libxml parameters,
// we don't need this so we'll leave it as NULL. The third argument however is
// important as it informs simplexml to handle the first parameter as a file name
// rather than a XML formatted string.
$pFile = new SimpleXMLElement("http://example.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss", null, true);
// Now that we've loaded our XML file we can begin to parse it.
// We know that a channel element should be available within the,
// document so we begin by looping through each channel
foreach ($pFile->channel as $pChild)
{
// Now we want to loop through the items inside this channel
{
foreach ($pFile->channel->item as $pItem)
{
// If this item has child nodes as it should,
// loop through them and print out the data
foreach ($pItem->children() as $pChild)
{
// We can check the name of this node using the getName() method.
// We can then use this information, to, for
example, embolden
// the title or format a link
switch ($pChild->getName())
{
case 'pubDate':
$date = date('l, F d, Y', strtotime($pChild));
echo "<p class=\"blog_time\">$date</p>";
break;
case 'link':
$link = $pChild;
break;
case 'title':
echo "<p class=\"blog_title\"><a href=\"$link\">$pChild</a></p>";
break;
case 'description':
// echo substr(strip_tags($pChild), 0 , 270) . "...";
break;
case 'author':
echo "";
break;
case 'category':
echo "";
break;
case 'guid':
echo "";
break;
default:
// echo strip_tags($pChild) . "<br />\n";
break;
}
}
}
}
}
?>
